This whole campaign has descended into nothing more than two bratty 3d grade girls starting rumors about each other and then having a fight at the bike rack during recess.... or worse, getting their boy friends to fight each other,
Are we really going to select a candidate driven by who can start the worse rumors about each other, call them more names, and come up with more witty juvenile insults?
We deserve better..... I hope.
Rubio started it, the GOPe probably pushed it.
You don't understand that when people attack Trump, they are going to get punched back twice as hard.
Cruz and others are simply angry and frustrated that their usual politically slimy tactics have no effect on Trump.
Donald Trump has not start any rumors. He owns what he says and does not hide behind super PACs or other surrogates.
“We deserve better..... I hope.”
So, just who is the “better” we deserve? Someone the GOPe selects?
In truth, politics has always been a rowdy arena, and if one looks to our founding period for a bastion of politeness, they will not find it there.
“Men in public life called each other, not just the traditional ‘liar,’ ‘poltroon,’ ‘coward,’ and ‘puppy,’ but also ‘fornicator,’ ‘madman,’ and ‘bastard;’ they accused each other of incest, treason, and consorting with the devil.”
–Gentlemen’s Blood: A History of Dueling
Cruz and Rubio are two bratty little bastards.
Yes, we deserve Kasich or Ryan, right, new fella?
Your concern is noted.
First off, the sleazy PAC that has decided to support Ted started this whole tawdry course.
Secondly the press has furthered incited with what at this point are nothing more than allegations fueled by rumors.
Ted hits back and accuses Trump as the source of these rumors, with absolutely zero evidence to support his claims.
Yet somehow you lay blame on both candidates? If any candidate deserves the lion's share of criticism it is Cruz. He was slow in denouncing the PAC, and when he finally did denounce them it wasn't really a very strong denunciation.
In retaliation for the PAC ad, Trump tweeted that he would spill the beans on Ted's wife. Somehow that supposedly makes this sexpose now his fault. Though the sexpose certainly is not spilling the beans on his wife, so these are not the beans Trump was referring to at all.
Supposedly this story was being investigated by several news organizations, not just the National Enquirer. If true and they had the evidence supporting the claims, then one has to wonder why they were holding back from releasing their stories, when usually just the claims are enough for them. My only guess was they were waiting to use it at the most opportune time, such as late into the general election.
No this is exactly the kind of thing that happens in most elections. Perhaps you're just too young to know any better.
BTW, your tagline is a bit tawdry itself, based on rumors that have not been substantiated even though the rumors are accepted as the truth by a vast majority, which includes me amongst them.
“We deserve better..... I hope.”
As in your tag line?
Just callin’ what I seein’!!
